Power profiles, core parking, fan curves, startup entries, and the switches Microsoft moved six menus deep. Wyxen puts them on one screen, tells you what each one actually changes, and puts every one of them back.
Applies the moment you pick it.
Lowest share of cores kept awake at idle.
How eagerly the CPU clocks above its base frequency.
Every line is real. Copy one and run it yourself.
Wyxen writes these, logs them, and can put every one of them back.
Or install from PowerShell

Wyxen is one window with a sidebar. Every control says what it does before you touch it, and shows what it changed after.
Pick how the machine should behave and Wyxen sets the dozen things underneath that decide it.
Draw the curve, watch the trace. Package and GPU history is plotted over time, so you can see whether a curve is actually holding.
Remove the preinstalled apps and background services you never asked for, one at a time and with a plain description of each.
Everything that launches with Windows in one list, including the entries Task Manager does not show you.
Clocks, temperatures, load and draw in the tray. One click for the full readout, no second app running.
Trust
Wyxen runs elevated and edits system state. That is a lot to ask of a program you downloaded five minutes ago, so here is exactly what it does and how to check the build you got.
Each toggle writes a line to a local log: what it read, what it wrote, when. Open it any time.
Wyxen creates one before its first write of a session. If something goes sideways, roll the machine back.
Anything Wyxen can turn on it can turn off. Where Windows makes that impossible, the control says so before you use it.
The installer contains one program. It ships no partner offers, and using the app requires no sign-in.
The complete set of surfaces Wyxen can modify. Nothing outside this list.
Run
Get-FileHash on the installer and compare. If it does not match, do not run it.

One installer, about 15 MB. It puts Wyxen in your Start menu and keeps itself updated. Uninstalling removes the program and leaves your settings where you put them.
Tested build. This is the one you want.
Install from an admin PowerShell
irm https://get.wyxen.app | iex Wyxen needs administrator rights, because power settings and startup entries are machine-wide. It asks once, at launch, and never runs a service in the background.
Questions
It can change how your machine behaves, which is the point, and Wyxen creates a restore point before its first write of each session. Every control is reversible unless the control itself says otherwise, and it says so before you use it, not after.
Power plans, startup entries, services and provisioned apps are machine-wide state. Windows will not let a normal process touch them. Wyxen asks for elevation once at launch and does not install a background service or a driver.
Not today. Instead of asking you to take that on faith, Wyxen publishes the SHA256 of every release, a VirusTotal report, the full list of registry and system surfaces it can write to, and a local log of every change it makes on your machine.
That is SmartScreen reacting to a publisher it has not seen often, not to anything found in the file. Compare the SHA256 in the Trust section against Get-FileHash on your download before you continue. If they match, the file is the one we published.
Each screen has a reset that restores the Windows defaults for that screen. Uninstalling Wyxen does not revert your changes, deliberately, because reverting settings you chose on purpose during an uninstall would be a surprise. Reset first, then uninstall.
The app sends one anonymous ping on first launch with a random identifier and the version number, so we can tell how many downloads become working installs. No hardware fingerprint, no usage tracking, and it can be turned off in settings.
Nothing yet, and Wyxen does not require one. It exists so that syncing your profiles across machines can be built later without a migration. The app works fully signed out and always will.
